I think we totally should limit ourselves from the idea that it's totally normal to expect to be able to fly anywhere in the world in ~24 hours and to do this regularly.
- mscasts 7y agoWhy though? Let's imagine we could create an electric plane for example and produce the electricity it uses completely carbon free. Why would that be an issue? I think this is totally doable, if we desire.
- claudius 7y agoSure. Do it. Given that this is apparently possible, there should be no problems with a 1000% carbon tax on non-electric planes starting tomorrow, right?
- mscasts 7y agoThe only issue I have with that is there may be other engines which are not electric but could still provide the same benefits.
